Eagles at Chiefs: Our Best Bets for Monday Night Football
The game of the week is this Monday Night when the 8-1 Eagles face off with the 7-2 Chiefs which could be a potential Super Bowl preview. Both teams are coming off a bye and won their games as they headed into the off-week. Check out our best bets for this titanic tilt below!
Best Bet: Chiefs -2.5
While the Chiefs are typically known for their explosive offense led by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, it has been the defense that has led them this season. They rank 1st in points allowed per game with under 16ppg.
For the Birds, it has been the opposite. The offense of the Eagles is averaging 4 touchdowns per game and ranks 3rd in the league. Both teams rank inside the Top 5 in the league on 3rd down conversion percentage.
The same can be said about both teams in terms of sacks on the season. The Eagles’ one advantage seems to be on the ground where they average almost 130 yards per game on the ground. Although OC Brian Johnson seems to abandon the run early and often in games recently.
We believe the Chiefs offense is going to force the Eagles to abandon the run too early and allow their top 3 defense to focus on simply rushing the passer and shutting down AJ Brown. This will also be the 1st game without TE, Dallas Goedert, who is a security blanket for Jalen Hurts.
The Eagles have been just getting by recently and seem due for a complete letdown and this looks to be lining up for just that. Let’s lay the small number with Mahomes and Co.
Key Trends:
- Philly is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas City.
- Philly is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the AFC.
- KC is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- KC is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against an opponent in the NFC.
